Problem

The force required to just move a body up an inclined plane is double the force required to just prevent the body from sliding down the plane. If θ\theta is the angle of inclination and μ\mu is the coefficient of friction, then tan⁡θ\tan\theta is equal to: (1) μ\mu (2) 3μ3\mu (3) 2μ2\mu (4) 0.5μ0.5\mu
